EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1897 by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, transports us back to the picturesque village of Churchtown in Zennor, Cornwall. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the stunning view of the village seen from the west. The quaint cottages with their thatched roofs and charming stone walls create an idyllic backdrop against a clear blue sky. Intriguingly, what truly brings this photograph to life is the presence of two individuals in the foreground. A young girl stands beside a man wearing a distinguished bowler hat - both figures seemingly lost in thought as they observe their surroundings. Their inclusion adds depth and narrative to this already enchanting scene. The Victorian era ambiance is palpable through every detail captured by Hughes' lens; from the timeless architecture to the traditional attire worn by locals passing through Churchtown's narrow streets. This image serves as a precious window into Cornwall's rich history and cultural heritage. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this remarkable print not only showcases Hughes' exceptional talent but also offers us an opportunity to appreciate and reflect upon a moment frozen in time over a century ago. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who came before us - leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
